Tonight I’m playing at DanceChurch with Amanita and Osiris Indriya of the Future Nurses. This is sure to be one stompalicious night. There may even been some 3-way tagteam action…. we shall see how the evening plays out, but I can think of no other DJs that I’d rather be paired with for the intimate DanceChurch setting. I’m scheduled to open at 7:30, so come early!

Here’s the official blurb, from the Facebook event:

Join us this Wednesday for a special Dancechurch with Amanita (http://www.myspace.com/DJAmanita) and Osiris (http://www.osirisindriya.com) and Crispy (www.splendidbeats.com) serving up hot dance beats all night long (7:30-10:00)!

All ages, family friendly, and alcohol free. $5-10 requested donation. (But if that keeps you away you’re really silly and losing out for sure.) Water will be available for free (please bring your own cup or container). Hot tea, bottled water, and reusable earplugs will for sale.

Please help keep things cool with our neighbors: please park in the street and not in any of the lots around the church.

Love and beats,

Hendrik

**Dancechurch is a family-friendly alcohol-free community gathering on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month. We dance to a variety of music provided by some of the finest West Coast DJ’s and musicians. And those of you that think dancing with kids can’t be fun, think again. It’s a riot to see young and innocent kids having a blast shaking it to the music we love! And this is a perfect opportunity for all our teenagers and young adults to come and kick it as well.

Date: Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Time: 7:30pm – 10:00pm
Location: Transcendent Church of Bass
Street: 920 Elliot Ave W

I’ve noticed that my Good Morning mix has logged over 1400 downloads and counting within the last two days alone, yet can’t find any trace of where those hits/downloads could be coming from. Very strange…. Either it’s a hacker, a zombie computer, a bug, or that mix has become suddenly very popular in some eastern block country. I’m hoping it’s the latter, but does anyone have any tricks to getting to the bottom of all this download traffic? It’s seems to only be affecting that one mix, with no additional spike in page views, which makes me think that this is not normal web usage.
